Got a reply just now, I'm one of those special, pain in the arse cases I think. Honestly though, I think they are reviewing every order manually that falls under the coupon criteria, which would explain why it takes some time for people to get their confirmations sent out.

Long story short, soon I'll be receiving some minis! They'll be shipping tomorrow! Yay!

Also, the last minis, plus everybody else waiting for wave #3 shipping will be seeing them real soon, either late December or early January according to the email I got just now.

Well, looks like I can finally start work on that Imperial Army and that Imperial Navy detachment soon.

I don't get this then; all my remaining stuff was Wave 2. Then it was held up waiting for the Snipers. Now they have the Snipers, but I have no sign my stuff is on the way, they're shipping orders to folk who bribe them with an extra purchase(not getting at you chief, it's a critique of them) or buy retail, and are talking about shipping Wave 3 backer orders?! What the buggery is going on?

Also; you better not be pinching the idea out of my head to use Hilda with the bare head as a Navy officer

Actually, Hilda will become the base decoration for one of my Knights, same with Eisenstein when she's released next year. They are both going to be Knight Nobility.

Wolfenstein will become my Imperial Navy officer of choice (acting as a count-as Space Marine captain), along with Doctor Von X becoming an Apothecary.

This is turning into a hot mess. Oh wait...

Is it hot or is it..

Hah! Been awhile since we saw that gif

Well, my track and trace is working, though I am somewhat surprised that the French postal services site doesn't have an English option.

It's in deference to the Conquest of 1763.

Or maybe they think they are resisting colonization. They are a colonial power, after all.

While RH has helpfully supplied a link to Google translate it does not sadly translate the whereabouts of my stuff.

Yeah i checked a few times and i have no clue if it is in transit or still at the (striking) post office.

The current status is: Secur'Export - Pris en charge

That's probably a security branch of La Poste that makes sure you're not exporting precious French exceptionalism.

My wave 1 arrived today (I'd given up hope of anything arriving before Christmas). I went for 2 wave shipping with no extra bribes to help shipping along. I also decided on spincast everything, which looks like pretty good choice barring a few very minor miscasts.
My wave 1 was...
Charlie, Harry, Jinx
Drusilla Lepic
Extra Lulu
Karmina Noxx
Lieutenant Drakkan
Mimi the radio
Tania tanker
Natasha comms
KST snipers unit
JB snipers unit
IE heavy troops command
IE heavy troops troops
JB regular troops x2
JB regular troops command x2
A ton of bases
A bunch of coasters

Not bad (shame it took so bloody long!). Now the long wait for wave 2 (at least it isn't Robotech, as a ROW backer I'm still waiting - siembieda and co are just total bellcaps imho after the latest retail debacle!)

Mine arrived this morning also. Now to go through it....

I am 100% unsurprised by this, actually.

Well, ze German post has such an option and when Rackham went tits up the mail service they used (I think it was called Colosmo or the such) also had an English option.

My current status is.. Pris en charge à MAUGUIO LANGUEDOC PIC

Which is something even Bing can't translate.

hmm seems i should have paid for split shipping...

Pris en charge means accepted by the post office, and Mauguio Languedoc is the location of said Poste office. It's right next to Montpellier.

You have my thanks good sir.

The google fu was weak today, mate?

Has anyone seen any of the troop boxes out in the wild - I haven't seen a single sprue shot for how they ended up cutting up those models for the ball and socket joints. Are the legs attached to the torso? How much of the figure is poseable etc?

From the jail birds command squad....

Just to clarify, I use Bing for translations, not searching. I didn't go full idiot just yet.

Bing is only good for pictures, but my tracking says the same.

You are suspicious? Or could you perhaps be jaloux?

Sorry sorry, I don't often get the chance to pull the linguist-nerd routine with Scots

Oh. I thought he actually meant he was suspicious...

Iron Empire Sprue Pics... (Edit:heavy troopers)

Command Squad (some bubbles)



Troops Squad (some bubbles)


Apologies the pics aren't great - but hopefully you get the idea.

Cheers

I wonder why they were able to send you your iron empire troops, but not mine.

Well, as of a couple of days ago they were still waiting on IE & KST regular troopers and some heroines in metal before handling the wave 2 shipping for drop ship locations. No idea which heroines as I didn't get a list.

Personally, I'm expecting wave 2 to be quite a large box, given I went quite heavy on the troops.
